Love this movie but after having sight of the appalling Hen’s Tooth R1 DVD (these incompetents were also responsible for the pan & scan R1 Cross of Iron) I am hoping some enlightened distributor elsewhere in the world is putting together a widescreen special edition of this haunting and beautiful movie.

Anyone heard anything?

I love this film as well. It's on FilmFour regularly, but strangely, they also show the film in 4:3. Whether it is fullframe or pan and scanned, I don't know, since it is a very long time since I saw it on its release at the cinema.

FWIW IMDB list it as 1.85:1 and I do vaguely remember it being at least this when I saw it in the cinema on it’s original run.
